MonoGame SDK for Linux does provide you with console compilation tool called “MGCB” (MonoGame Content Builder). To use it to compile an image simply do:

mgcb \
-workingDir:/home/harry/Documents/Example/ \
-compress:True \
-importer:TextureImporter \
-processor:TextureProcessor \
-build:/home/harry/Documents/Example/Moon.png

Extra texture compression line if you want it:

-processorParam:TextureFormat=Compressed \

Thank you but how to direct reach mode instead HiDef?

Set profile param to Reach, more info: http://www.monogame.net/documentation/?page=MGCB

Also if you don’t know something you can always create a .mgcb file using Pipeline Tool and open it in the text editor (it is just a set of mgcb commands).

Ok, thank you. You are great!

And it exists one problem. Option -outputDir creates strange path

$ mgcb -compress -profile:Reach -build:/home/destructor/IMG.png -outputDir:/home/destructor/

see result here http://joxi.ru/E2pV86Jh9w1qgr

Can it just create file in some folder without creating path?

Set the workingDir argument to “/home/destructor”

Yes I’m glad. This works. Excellent!

So It is loading on version monogame 3.0 but on version monogame 2.5 it is not loading with such error:

Could not find matching content reader of type

What is it a bug?
